Key Topics

Specify your research activity and goals that are relevant for sea level studies

Is your research observation based and/or model based?

How can the sea level research group be of value to you ?

Research activity

  • Ocean temperature and isotopic composition reconstruction on million-year timescales; the latter is related to ice volume/sea level. I am joining because I am leading the hazards theme and am excited about strengthening activities on sea level

  • Ice sheet modelling (Greenland and Antarctica), ice sheet-climate interactions and couplind, contribution of ice sheets to sea-level

  • Pacific regional sea levels, CMIP6 sea levels - historical and projections, CMIP6 sea level biases - Pacific regions, causes

  • Understanding how sea level variability signals from the open ocean are transmitted to the coastal ocean across continental shelf edge using numerical modelling and downscaling approaches

  • Paleoclimate reconstructions

  • Ocean Modelling

  • Data Assimilation. Goal: produce a 30-years Arctic reanalysis with 3D variables consistent with observed sea level from satellites.

  • Steric sea level and sea level budget closure

  • Sedimentologist, interested in coastal changes in 21 Century as a function og global sea-level changes, extreme sea-level events, vertical land-movements, sediment supply and sediment distribution

  • Concurrency of sea level and wave height extremes in norwegian waters

  • Short and long-term prediction of sea level change in the tropics

Observation/Model based

Interests

Value

  • Important aspect of climate hazards

  • Exchange of Information and Knowledge; Collaborations

  • Introduction to people working on similar research topics, platform to collaborate, share ideas, identifying shared research interests and methodologies

  • Joint proposals

  • I dont know…

  • Sea level is the very first data than ocean model need to be able to represent

  • Would be good to work towards a holistic sea level approach within the BCCR, integrating all sea level components. Learning from each other, and possibly collaborating in future proposals/science

  • Expertise is always valuable.

  • Cross-disciplinary skill will advance the study of sea level budget closure

  • To interact and get knowledge of sea-level research in Bergen

  • As I’m new to the topic - provide an overview of relevant research within the field
